Good morning ARE COACH,I need some help! Is there a video for the CDS exam vignette- Building Section?Also, where can I find the NCARB 3.1 Building Section Vignette for CDS and specific directions on how to install it?Can it work on a MAC? If not what version of Window operating system will it work?Thank you!KDS

I was watching your Interior Layout (IL) video and had a question with regards to clearances between two pieces of furniture. At 23:00 of your video you show a 3'-0" separation between the "large bookshelf" and the edge of the conference room table. A bit of confusion for me is that I have the NALSA vignette books, which says in this scenario, the separation should be between the bookshelf to the chair.

Obviously, your method would be preferred as you're gaining space but would appreciate the clarification. Thanks in advance.

The condition shown in the video works because the chair is not in front of either bookcase. I provide a 36" path to the chair and to each bookcase. If any portion of a bookcase was directly behind the chair, then 36" would be required between chair and bookcase.

Is there an alternate Interior Layout? I purchased the Int. Layout and Bldg. Layout, the alternate Bldg. Layout has been helpful, but now that NCARB runs off of the cloud, I can't find alternates for the Int Layout. I can get .dwg plans, but no furniture. Any suggestions?

Just passed my last test! I wanted to say THANK YOU Coach for making the vignette videos. They were a game changer for me. I never failed a test where I used one of your videos. They were absolutely key for me. If anyone is trying to pass 4.0 before June 30th. Don't mess around with the vignettes, use the videos from Coach.And thanks to Sparky for feedback on vignette solutions!!
